In the region and again in her capacity as Chairperson of CARICOM, Prime Minister Mottley has also not been timid in immersing herself in what, on occasion, has been sensitive issues, last year’s Guyana general elections controversy being one of those. This, in the context of a regional political culture where unwelcome even if altogether warranted comment can attract, from one quarter or another, the accusation of meddling. Prime Minister Mottley almost certainly leads the pack amongst regional Heads of Government in terms of the extent of her political experience. Rich countries have not, over time, stood out in their demonstration of high-mindedness and that alone would have provided Prime Minister Mottley with ample reason to thoroughly exhaust her own country’s needs before looking outwards. Frankly, it truly puts her in the class of an outstanding stateswoman and humanitarian.
